Negative fans get to be right no matter what.

If we lose they say "I told you so" 

If we win they get to be "pleasantly surprised"

It's a defense mechanism.

You aren't wrong but there is a difference between being negative and realistic. It's not being negative pointing out this teams inability to hold onto leads, get off the field on 3rd down, and has a negative turnover differential. This team has the potential to win it all but it won't happen if the coaches and players keep tripping over their own dicks in the process.

That’s because a lot of “fans” want us to lose so they can feel better about themselves.

What is funny is that is exactly what they are accusing me of lmao

Apparently I'm just happy we won to win points on the internet.

Truth is they projecting.  Deep down they are upset we won

It was "realistic" that we wouldn't win today either

 

It is realistic that we aren't having a good season at 9-4

That isn't realism. It is being a pessimist and then people actively root against their own team because they are more a fan of their own opinion than the Panthers

LMFAO

We were one Cam Newton tackle away from giving that game away. Sorry but if you were looking to make a statement with this game you don't have a leg to stand on. We had good fortune and we got great plays out of Newton today. Like HOF plays and that doesn't happen every week. We need better play out of our coaching staff and I doubt we get it.

Yes. Vikes were favored by 2.5, which would be 5.5 without the HFA.

Not true. Anyone saying that is being a pessimist. What is true is that this team could just as easily go 12-4 and run the table for a SB win as they could go 10-6 and flame out in the Wild Card to the Saints for the 3rd time this year.

Every time I pick against the Panthers in the prediction threads I hope I'm wrong, but you aren't (not you specifically, but in general) more of a fan because you pick the Panthers to go 19-0 every year.

And you come off as just as much of a douche as the fans who post reactionary garbage threads after losses when you post a thread like this.

Ummmmm.  They were condescending assholes when I started a thread about how we were going to beat the Vikes ass today on Thursday.

I respond to condescension with condescension.

And u shouldn't have to rub it in when Panthers win.  This should not even be a fugging issue tbh.  How u a fan of Panthers and then want to gloat when they lose?

 

Lmao, so you WERE worried about it all weekend.

Just enjoy the win there's no reason to be a jackass to people who knew we didn't match up well with Minny.

Had the Vikes winning 28-10. Glad to be wrong but we all saw exactly what happens to this team when we get a lead. If it weren't for Cam's heroics (and the defense at the end, Bradberry and KK in particular) this place would be crumbling. If Rivera continues to play conservative on both ends of the ball (looking at you too Shula) this team is in trouble in the playoffs. Vikes made a lot of mistakes today, can't rely on that happening every week.

It's a dangerous game to play. It's why the Saints owned us twice this year.

People like that have it easy. If we lose they just disappear and if we win they come out like there was no doubt we would win.

I don't care how I look rubbing it in when the Panthers win two other Panthers fans.

And I don't care what being a realist means it's not an insult to me.  I'm a fan and I can be a fan and realistic at the same time.

In fact I was the more realistic one when I said I thought the Panthers are going to win evidenced by the reality that they did

I've been here a long time.  So not sure that's exactly accurate but nice try again

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
